Master of Science in Applied Economics

Healthcare. Finance. Foreign policy. Any sector related to national and global markets depends on the analytical skills of an economist. We can’t make informed, important decisions without their expertise.

Part business, part social science, economics is an incredibly broad field with more career opportunities than many people first realize. Economists are in high demand and can work in state and federal government, in research and development, and in finance and insurance. The U.S. Department of Labor expects demand to increase faster than the average occupation through 2030.

With its range of electives, the Johns Hopkins MS in Applied Economics program gives you the flexibility to design a degree plan that fits your professional goals and economic interests, such as:

• Environmental Economics
• Financial Economics
• Health Economics
• International Economics and Development
• Spatial Economics
• Public Policy

You’ll gain plenty of practical experience in quantitative methods, and will explore emerging areas like machine learning.
